Nur Ein Weib der alten Welt, Eines nur,
1255
Hat an geliebte Kinder selbst Hand gelegt,
Ino, von Götterwuth entflammt, als Here sie
Aus ihrer Heimath fern' hinaus in die Irre trieb.
In's Meer stürzt die Arme, die frevelhaft
Die Sohn' hingewürgt,
1260
Den Fuß hinübersezend über des Meeres Strand,
Und geht zu Grunde sterbend mit der Söhne Paar
Wie mag Traurigeres noch sich begeben? D
Du qualvolle Fraunliebe, du,
Wie viel hast du schon der Welt Leid gebracht!
1265

Notes on the current edition

Medea

1. This is Euripides’ version of the legend, not the usual one; which makes Athamas the father go mad and kill one son, while Ino leaps into the sea with the other.
